Launched by Shanghai Daily under the guidance of the Information Office of Shanghai Municipality and Shanghai United Media Group, the 2022 "Environment, Social and Governance" Pioneer Awards were given out on Dec. 19 to honor companies for their achievements in accelerating the green transformation of development and contributions to society.
Since the case collection was launched in November 2022, it has attracted the attention and participation of hundreds of firms, including nearly 500 multinational enterprises, among which 23 companies won the Award for Green Transformation and Development, 17 were honored with the Excellence Award for Corporate Social Responsibility, and five awarded the Excellence Award for Corporate Governance.
The Award for Green Transformation and Development honors companies for their outstanding contributions to green development in a bid to recognize their outstanding promotion of the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals" and fulfilling the mission of green and sustainable development.
Those receiving the award include SABIC's Carbon Neutrality Strategy and Nike China's "Move to Zero" project.
According to their strategy, SABIC pledged to be carbon neutral at the operational level by 2050 and to reduce carbon emissions by 20 percent by 2030. The first phase of a rooftop photovoltaic system was installed at SABIC's Shanghai plant in December 2021. The system consists of 532 solar panels that produce about 250,000 KWh of renewable energy per year and indirectly reduce 250 tons of CO2 emissions.
Nike's "Move to Zero" project was introduced in China in 2015. So far, the Recycle-A-Shoe and Nike Grind programs have converted 1,050,906 pairs of old, worn-out athletic shoes for recycling and transformed them into 21 playgrounds and sports spaces in China using a total of 221 tons of recycled materials. This year, Nike launched the "Recycle-A-Shoe" mini program on Alipay, inviting more consumers to take part in the project.
